The Climate Change and Carbon Management Blog focuses on rapidly emerging issues associated with greenhouse gas emissions. It addresses legal developments on the state, federal, and international level, but also keeps abreast of important business initiatives and developments in related technology. In keeping with the expertise of the attorneys and consultants in our Climate Change group, the blog puts special, though not exclusive, emphasis on information pertaining to carbon capture & storage and to renewable energy projects.

"It is our goal to use this blog to provide information to other lawyers and the general public about the legislative and regulatory responses to climate change issues developed throughout the country, along with updates on scientific discoveries and case law addressing greenhouse gases, sea level rise and other issues related to global warming and climate change."
